Miguel Cotto 29 Years Old Birthday Workout Video - Amidst the searing Tampa Florida heat, Miguel Cotto opened his training camp for his final Florida workout.

"Freddie Roach is going to swallow his words."

So promised the Puerto Rican champion Miguel Cotto when reacting to comments yesterday from rival coach, Manny Pacquiao during his training day open to the news media and who happens to coincide with his 29th birthday.

"It's going to be a well seasoned fighter, but I can assure you that in the end I will be victorious," Cotto said the crowd of reporters made a date to view it in action in the Tampa Fury Fighting gym.

"What Freddie Roach says I do not care. The best thing he can do is prepare the best possible Manny Pacquiao. I am."

In fact, the owner welterweight World Boxing Organization laughed when confronted with Roach's statements about his weaknesses as a boxer and that will be knocked out by the Filipino.

"Roach is not going to get in my head. He talks a lot and think the same thing will happen when Pacquiao fought Hatton, when the main protagonists were he and Floyd Mayweather, father," Cotto said, refusing to enter into bickering.

"We will not fall into that game. No stupid thing to say is going to affect me and nothing he says will change the outcome of the fight," he said.

During his slight practice yesterday saw a physical Cotto with a well-toned, willing and happy, but above all, full of confidence that the work will bear fruit on 14 November.

"The fights are won in the gym and we have worked at 100 percent. In addition, nutrition has helped a lot and so the mood I am in is very different from previous times. In fact, we are very close to the weight," he said.

"What I have said from the beginning, Pacquiao is a great fighter, but is 126 pounds. For more weights to give more weight and you acquire will never have the strength to Miguel Cotto and that is one of the questions that will have to face when they step into the ring. We are prepared for everything that he brings," he added.

In tactical terms of his training, Cotto refused to elaborate much, but he made clear he is ready to successfully face another southpaw boxer, as it has in the past.

"In my training I worked against lefties. Pacquiao is not the first that I face. I already have fights with (Carlos) 'El Indio' Quintana, Zab Judah and (DeMarcus) Corley. I am well prepared for him," said Cotto, who added that he believes Pacquiao a better fighter than he was three years ago, when there appeared at 130 pounds.

"The only thing different is Manny over here three years ago is that gained weight and had victories over (Ricky) Hatton and (Oscar) De La Hoya. That has merit, but in boxing terms, remains essentially the same kind of fighter. Against him a fight we will work smart for assault assault. And if given a hard blow, we will take to knock him out."

Cotto will head to Las Vegas in anticipation for his November 14 fight.
